Of the 3 asian grill/buffet restaurants Ive tried thus far in Lansing this one is the best thus far. The staff are very helpful in getting you started. For mybfirst time I learned what to do and what to mix in. The next time I will add more meat and crab legs. There is so much to choose it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Just be sure to eat the food you choose as they reserve the right to charge for excessive waste. It cost about $30+ per adult but wiyh it being all you can eat and the quality of the items this is ok. Definitely worth trying if you want a meal that is also a learning experience. Can be a fun date night idea. Ill be backnsometime for sure.
The price is reasonable and better than other places in Lansing and East Lansing, honestly! You get BOTH hotpot and bbq, as well as specialty sushi rolls, buffet style all you can eat, and you're not rushed out!! I went with 2 of my friends and had a great time. The food was amazing and all fresh. I liked how a lot of the meats for the bbq were marinated already. The hotpot was delicious too !! I got the tom yum broth and filled mine up with all of the fresh veggies and seafood options available to choose from from the buffet. I tried lotus root for the first time. It was good!! The sauces section had a lot of variety. I would only suggest maybe adding a ponzu sauce or something acidic besides just the lemons. The desserts were delicious as well. I left STUFFED!! I almost had to be rolled out the front door. Everything looks brand new and most importantly, CLEAN! Customer service was amazing!!!
This is my new favorite restaurant! It had a beautiful, clean layout. The staff was all amazing, caring and helpful the whole time! All you can eat buffet with class. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. It is a must try! Great selection of meats and veggies. Broth flavorful and hearty, and sauces and spices were plentiful. I highly recommend this 5 Star restaurant.
Excellent hot pot and Korean barbecue, all you can eat with huge selection of vegetables, seafood, noodles, and meat. They have a smaller selection of sushi, but it is still good. You take all the portions of food you want by yourself, and cook it at your table. There are a lot of sauces to make your own sauce too. Staff are friendly and attentive. To avoid the stress of burning food, they will recommend that you eat hot pot first then barbecue, this helps a lot. No strict dining time limit, just avoid wasting food.
My wife and I have been here around a dozen times now and we love it! The staff are all nice and attentive. The only downside we've seen so far is the food options for lunch, they're not all as good as the dinner options. The sushi and sauce bars are awesome as well. We will definitely keep coming back!
Two of us visited on a Saturday night soon after this restaurant opened. We were seated right away but were given very little information on how everything worked. Our table had an alarm that kept going off, making waitstaff stop and fix our grill several times throughout dinner. There were a lot of great options at the buffet, but not all of the items were labeled so we were left to guess and try things, which was kind of scary to do as the small print at our table stated they charge for leftover food. We enjoyed the unique experience having both the hot plate and grill at our table and the food was good.
Food was amazing so many things to choose. Sushi was fantastic (and it never is at a buffet) felt like a little cook and the waitress was very helpful and made sure we knew what to do and when to drop what in our Hotspot. Will be back and recommending. If you can make it before 4pm it's 10$ cheaper per adult person.
